It also explores why games can be especially valuable for families, giving everyone an easy way to spend time together when conversation alone may feel difficult.

The Jersey Sound Chorus returned for another visit, filling the room with their signature four-part harmonies! 🎶

The best part came at the end, when they invited resident Bernadette to join them for the final song. Bernadette was a longtime member of the Upper Chesapeake Chapter of Sweet Adelines in Maryland, so getting to sing alongside the group again made the evening that much more special.

We always love having them visit and can’t wait to welcome them back!
